VZ reported the revised outlook on September 29, 2026.

Profit targets set the direction

The revised outlook followed a strong first quarter. Mizuho reported first-quarter FY2026 revenue of JPY 957.6 billion and net income of JPY 290.5 billion, while earnings per share reached JPY 116, according to its financial statements dated July 30, 2026. The revenue figure was flat year over year, whereas earnings per share rose from JPY 114 in the first quarter of the prior year.

The targets give investors a measurable test for the next report. Mizuho's first-quarter net income was JPY 290.5 billion, leaving the group with a clear quarterly earnings base against the full-year profit target of JPY 1.40 trillion.

Three dated capital signals

On July 30, 2026, Mizuho reported first-quarter net income of JPY 290.5 billion and earnings per share of JPY 116, as stated in its financial statements. On September 18, 2026, the group completed a buyback of 24,352,700 shares for JPY 199,999.94 million, according to Simply Wall St. On September 29, 2026, management's FY2026 targets of JPY 1.75 trillion and JPY 1.40 trillion were reported after the IR Day.

What does 12.5 percent ROE mean?

The figure points to profitability rather than revenue growth alone. Mizuho's CFO said return on equity for the past 12 months was 12.5 percent, while management targeted a price-to-book ratio of 2.0x and a total payout ratio of at least 50 percent, according to VZ. The combination links capital returns with the bank's stated profitability ambition.

November 13, 2026 results date

Mizuho's next earnings date is November 13, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. That report will show whether the first-quarter earnings base is carrying through the fiscal year.
